You can try again for a better score, or have a look at your mistakes so when you DO take that time travel trip (everyone does, no?) you won't be surprised by the weirdness of the Victorian era.
While you will undoubtedly miss the comforts of the modern era, you wouldn't be quite lost in the Victorian Era. You seem to know quite a bit about it, and so it won't come as a complete shock to you. We'll make of you a Victorian person in the end!
Seems like you'd do very well in Victorian times, as you know so much about it. A few moments of discordancy will make way to new habits and old ideas. You'd be a Victorian Lady or Gentleman in no time!
